Bright golden color beer with a beige small head that disappears quickly. Aroma is malty and grassy, with herbal notes. Flavor is sweet with straw hints; no real bitterness. Watery body and low carbonation.

Another day, another lager. Pours with a clear golden color, decent white head which settles down quickly. Aroma is basically grains throughout - nothing special. Sweet start is followed by grains in the body. The end is bitter, but only just - needs some more.
Not a bad one, but nothing to remember it by. An OK beer to freshen you up.

This sample was brewed in 2009 and the best-by date was May 12, 2010. France has a medium, white head, a mostly clear, golden appearance, some bubbles, a large number of roiling white (and some tan) particles, and heavy lacing left behind. The aroma is of overly-aged barley malt, funky sweetness, slightly turned fruit, and syrupy sugar. Taste is of those same things, especially the syrupy sugar, with a mild hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Franca finishes dry, refreshing, and easy drinking. Taking into account the old age of this sample, I still think it’s very good, and I would like to try a fresh bottle. RJT
